ment, and would therefore send mes
sage to the chamber and senate to-mor-
row informing them of his de-
cisiOn. NJ. Rouvier added that
the president had declined to
accept the designations of the cabinet
which therefore retained its functions.
This announcement called for hearty
cheers from the members. The cham
Der then adjourned until O'Clock to-
morrow.
Later-CrOwds continue to flock to-
ward the palace of the ElySee and a
revolutiOnist demonstration is hourly
expected. Paul Deroulde and Louise
Michel, who have been melting the mob
to violence, have been arrested. Troops
are on hand in large numbers ready to
prevent any outbreak.
A COUNCIL WAS HELD
at the Elysee palace after the second
sitting of the chamber. NJ. Rouvier
having explained the bearing of the
vote, NJ. Grevy turned to each minister
and asked his opinion. All told him his
immediate resignation appeared per-
emptOry. NJ. Grevy replied it was the
chamber that had brought about the
existing situation, and that the
chamber must bear the respOn-
Sibility before the Judgment seat
of history. A discussion ensued
on the terms of the ministerial declara-
ton to be made in parliament. NJ.
Grevy begged NJ. ROuvier not to pro-
nOunce the word resignation" from the
tribune. The use of the word would be
unconstitutional, because congress
ought to be summoned Immediately on
the presidents resignation, which is
only to be announced tomorrow. He
authorized NJ. ROuvicr, however,
informally, to acquaint individual
deputies that his resolution was taken
and in the presence of the votes in the
senate and chamber it was irrevOcable.
The senate adjourned until o'clock to-
morrow afternoon. No doubt is now
entertained that the president will re-
sign. The plenary meeting of Repub
licans will be held at Versailles Satur
day morning. When NJ. de ROndele
left the chamber he proceeded to the
Hotel de Vile, followed by
A LARGE CROWD.
whom he harangued, calling for cheers
for NJ. Grevy. The only response to his
appeal were cries of "A bas Ferry, ,"and
''DemiSsOn!" DemissOnr' De ROndele
moved toward the senate when the
crowd was dispersed by the police. De
Rondele, however, refused to go and
fol- fn no
nearest station. There he strongly
protested to the commiSSary
against his incarceration, saying:
You have no right to arrest me. The
cry of a bas Ferry is constitutional
and legal" He was released an hour
later, and went Immediately to the Office
of the lntransigeant to draw up pro-
test against the action of the police.
There was a good deal of rough skir-
mishing during the evening. Several
persons sustained cOntuSionS, and
twenty were arrested, the crowds in the
meantime vigorously denOuncing the
police.
THE MOBS.
There was big demonstration in front
crowd shouting "Vive la RusSie." The
police dispersed the gathering. The
excitement in the city is intense. A mob
has gathered in front of the palace of
the Elysee, and are crying for the presi-
dent to resign. Troops guard the Ell
trance of the palace. The crowds in
front of the Palaise Bourbon became so
- hot l1-x-x Oh
to charge them. At midnight the
boulevard is quiet. The municipal cOun-
Gil is sitting behind closed doors. Gen.
SauSierre has informed President Grevy
that all requisite measures for the
preservation of order have been taken.
Grevy at the conference with the min
listers alluding to the intrigueS of the
Ferryist'S said: 1T is all very artfully
contrived, but the game is now appar-
ent and is not to the honor of human
nature. l see these who play it are in a
hurry to eat at the presidential tables,
but they are going to be disappointed.
1t is stated that Grevy's change of
mind is due to his belief that he can
form cabinet with Andrieux as pre-
mier and Gen. Boulanger as minister Of
war.
THIS MORNING.
By Cable to the Globe.
PARIS, Dec. 2, a. m.-The weather is
fine and bracing here to-day.
The chamber of deputies presented a
grand scene last night. The brilliant
assembly chamber was crowded to ex-
cess with diplomats, deputies, aristO-
Gratis and hundreds of ladies'. All were
eXcitedly discussing the situation and a
continual chattering was heard on all
sides. The rOyalistS are reticent over
their recent councils, but it has leaked
out that Bishop Freppel read
note from the vatican in which the pope
instructs the deputies of the right to
vote for NJ. Ferry. 1t is reported that
several members declared that they
would not obey the papal command.
A military force has guarded the Elysee
throughout the night. 1t is reported
that President Grevy has sent word to
the chamber and senate that
if they really desire him to
resign they must distinctly
say so; that the events of the past few
dave convince him that tha rpnuhIic.S
